# Forward Share Ventures

Forward Share Ventures connects growth-stage founders with expert operators — pre-vetted executives who advise, build, and invest as cofounders, board members, and scoped consultants. We run three platforms: Forward Achieve (advisory boards), Forward Share Network (expert operator supply), and Forward Share Studio (product cobuild). Founded by Vish Rao Dumpeti.

Forward Share Ventures operates in the Expert Economy and Entrepreneur Economy simultaneously — building infrastructure for a new class of polyhat professionals who advise, operate, and invest across multiple ventures rather than joining one company full-time.

## Core Programs

• Forward Achieve — Advisory Boards for Founders: Pre-vetted expert operators matched to growth-stage founders as advisors, board members, and cofounders. Starting at $300/month.
• Forward Share Network — Expert Operator Supply: A curated network of 200+ expert operators available for advisory, consulting, and cofounding roles across B2B SaaS, product, GTM, finance, people ops, and engineering.
• Forward Share Studio — Product Cobuild: Product studio that builds alongside founders using expert operators as fractional CTOs, product leads, and engineers. Equity-based model.
• Forward Share Capital: Venture cofounding and seed-stage investment for founders who want an operator-investor on their cap table from day one.
• Forward Share Insights: Research and intelligence on the expert operator economy, leadership readiness, and the future of work.
